Maytag PAV2300AWW, ONLY WORKS ON REGULAR CYCLE. ON DELICATE CYCLE CLICKING NOISE LIKE SWITCH OFF AND ON AND AGITATOR WILL MOVE SLIGHTLY WHEN CLICKS. MY SON HAD IT ON A WHILE BACK ON THE DELICATE CYCLE AND HAD BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. STILL WORKS FINE ON REGULAR

It's possible that the lid switch is malfunctioning which may prevent the machine from starting on a regular cycle. Inspect the switch for any signs of damage and if necessary, replace it. It is also possible that the timer knob is not properly set or the water level switch is defective. Check these as well to see if they're the culprit.

Replace it

Best guess is a timer contact problem, usually caused by advancing the timer by hand without pushing the dial in to stop the machine first.This causes burnt contacts.

I had a similar problem with my washer. It was clicking, but the agitator was moving fine. The clicking was coming from the centrifugal switch. After checking the capacitor I was about the give up and call a repair tech. Then I noticed the Speed Selector was set between Delicate and Normal. I moved the selector to a proper position and the washer stopped making the clicking noise and is working correctly.

Sounds like it is the bearing on the water pump. Take off back plate and replace and remove 3 screws and two hoses (the one hose is a waste line so make sure you have a bucket to empty our waste water) after removing these remove belt on bottom of pump.

can you get it to start by moving the timer one more click past the beginning of the cycle? Sometimes that is all that is wrong. Other than that, it's more than likely the timer has fused some of the points together and you will need a new timer in that case

Its probably you stator plate and rotor. But you need special tools for this repair. There a spring that is under 200 pounds of pressure and if you take the screws off that hold the plate its going to fly into you face if your dont use the special tools to depress the spring. Is it more of a clanking kinda of noise? DOes it olnly happen with heavy loads? Try this out. Fill the washer with water only. and get it into a wash cycle with water only. If there is no noise then put in like a load of towels. A heavy load. Now if you hear the noise now then its for sure you stator plate and rotor..hope this helps, but like i said you need those special tools to do this repair or injury can result from the spring part.

check water pump

My girlfriend's LAT9704 had the EXACT same problem. I replaced the timer module an now it works in all cycles. Part wasn't cheap though - $80

the selector switch for loads is just a switch that connects parts of the timed cycle to the timer circuit. if the timer is not rotating then nothing will work. check the connections through the selector switch. burnt or melted contacts within the switch calls for a new switch. try repair clinic dot com for a replacement.
